Summary:
"Get Me to the Abbey unveils alcoholism through the eyes of a stubborn middle-aged Midwesterner who is forced to give up her favorite pastime--drinking. After a week in the hospital, Lisa ends up in treatment at a refurbished abbey in Iowa, where a diverse group of men frames her recovery. Mischief and college basketball relieve the weight of soul-baring testimony. After a month at the abbey, Lisa adjusts to life without drinking and returns to work and cultivates support in her Alcoholics Anonymous community. She is reunited with her abbey cohorts by a heartbreaking tragedy."--Publisher.
